Russia

The cold snap from Russia is clearing out the population as the elderly and the very young struggle to cope with the cold weather, which can reach -13 degrees with the wind factor taken into account. As we wait for the postponed Spring it seems that Russia’s Putin is not only the source of the […]

It has only taken 3 weeks to see the wheels fall off the Trump clown show jalopy. Mike Flynn the nut job racist, who hated Muslims and anything not aligned to his neo-nazi philosophy has gone.
